[09:15] cz8s (~chris@lab.dom.COLODECK.de) joined #fai. [09:18] hi, i need to install fai on a server with >2GB disks. I tried using a disk_config with disklabel:gpt-bios, and the extra partition for grub gets created, but grub hangs on boot. any ideas ? [09:31] cz8s: can you put the disk_config file on paste.debian.net? [09:33] http://www.rotten.com/library/medicine/bodily-functions/pissing/ [09:38] oz_: http://paste.debian.net/116719/ [09:39] why you use lvm like this? [09:40] that was pasted from the documentation I think. [09:42] yes. its from the fai wiki. And it works with msdos partitions [09:44] cz8s: which one in the wiki, you did modify it, didn't you? [09:45] Action: oz_ tries to circumvent lvm all the time [09:47] http://wiki.fai-project.org/wiki/Setup-storage. We only changed the size of swap and / [09:47] Action: cz8s likes lvm :) [09:47] but I will try without lvm and see if anything changes [09:48] I'll do a test of the example later [09:51] i am trying this: [09:51] http://paste.debian.net/116721/ will report when its finished [09:56] it works without lvm [09:56] thanks for the hint [09:56] :-) [09:57] I don't know the trick howto boot from lvm by heart...I just know: there is one. [09:58] Guest2404 (~mt@shell.forsyte.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de) left irc: Ping timeout: 480 seconds [09:59] its linux. of course there is a way :) the server boots now. thats the most importand part. I will have a look at it later. [09:59] mt (~mt@shell.forsyte.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de) joined #fai. [09:59] Nick change: mt -> Guest616 [10:07] Guest616: hey :) [10:08] hm. cz8s did you use setup-storage? [10:09] here, the example fails to install [10:12] yes. As I understand, LVM and disklabel only work with setup-storage ? [10:13] yes iirc [10:14] oh, now install works [10:14] let's see if it boots [10:20] cz8s: hm do you really want your logical volume to be called "_root"? [10:20] why not ? [10:21] just wondering. anyway, might be that the parser has a problem with that, but that's just pure speculation without any actual error messages of course :) [10:22] when using a msdos disklabel, everything works perfectly. never had a problem with the lvm names [10:22] ok. i've never tried with gpt so no idea [10:23] gah. I just installed the server again. this time with a 3.4T rootpartition. and grub hangs again. [10:23] so lvm does not seem to be the problem ... [10:23] cz8s: I use the exampe, hangs at boot, too [10:23] let's see if the vg is activated... [10:24] I will try d-i next and see if this is a debian bug or fais fault [10:50] ErKa (~keryell@dy086141.etu.univ-rennes1.fr) left irc: Ping timeout: 480 seconds [11:41] okay. the example works, when there is lvm2 installed in the host. ;) [11:41] cz8s: I just booted the example fine [11:42] on disks > 2TB ? [11:45] no I don't have a > 2TB disk [11:46] but if you can boot normal, why not lvm? [11:47] i tried with and without lvm. both work if the partitions are smaller than 2GB. bit if they are bigger, grub hangs [11:48] i just installed a normal debian. and that works with 3.4TB [11:48] i will diff grub.cfg next ... [11:48] fai basically is normal debian [11:59] utnapishtim (~blafa3@83TAAA944.tor-irc.dnsbl.oftc.net) left irc: Quit: Quit [12:27] ErKa (~keryell@dy086145.etu.univ-rennes1.fr) joined #fai.
